SandBeach replied to Sarah's discussion 'I want to get off now.' in the group Depression/ Bipolar Support"You are correct that chronic clinical depression is a serotonin deficiency. I call it a chemical imbalance --- & that is what doesn't get better or go away by "doing things" or trying to think differently. "
SandBeach replied to Sarah's discussion 'I want to get off now.' in the group Depression/ Bipolar Support"I like the part about "putting one foot in front of the other", & making it thru "the next 5 minutes" - that seems to work for me. My mother told me (after my first serious suicide attempt) - " when you…"
SandBeach replied to Sarah's discussion 'I want to get off now.' in the group Depression/ Bipolar Support"Thanks, all these replies have helped me too (see my story ("condition") above)....I was also diagnosed as Chronic Depression & Bi-Polar.

Kris Feenstra replied to Keith Pulley's discussion 'Accosted'"Perhaps she was just trying to make conversation.

Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
